Pomological Jfotices. 17 



45. Henry IV. — This is a great and early bearer, and of rapid 

 growth: it has a peculiar taste, a good, but, from this year's ex- 

 perience, not a first rate fruit. September and October. 



46. Jalousie Duhamel. — This is a handsome and pretty good 

 pear, of a yellow russet color. It does not at present appear lo 

 be a good bearer. October. 



47. Verte Longiie, or Long Green. Qynonyme: Mouth-water. 

 — This is an old pear, but shows no signs of decay. My trees 

 produce abundantly, every year, fine and handsome pears: their 

 cultivation deserves to be extended. Ripe in September and 

 October. 



48. Marie Louise. — My trees produced fruit for the first 

 time this year: it resembles the figure in the Pom. Mag: it is 

 decidedly a first rate fruit: ripening in November. 



49. Mapoleon. — This also is a first rate fruit, and very pro- 

 ductive. The pears do not attain to the size of the figure in the 

 Pom. Mag.., which may be from their great bearing. It cannot 

 be too extensively cultivated. Ripens in October and Novem- 

 ber. 



50. English Red Cheek. — This is no doubt a French pear 

 with a new name. It is a great bearer, large and handsome, but 

 hardly second rate. Ripe in August and September. 



51. Rousselet de Rheims. — This is a small, high flavored pear, 

 ripening in September, with the Seckel: it is good only eaten 

 ripe from the tree, which renders it less valuable than it other- 

 wise would be. 



52. Seckel. — Well known as a first rate fruit, ripening in 

 September. In rich land and a good season, the flavor is equal 

 or superior to any other pear known. 



53. Vcrte Longue panachee, or Striped Long Green Duhamel, 

 Coxe. — This is striped green and yellow: it is more curious 

 than good, having a sweet, insipid taste. Ripe in September 

 and October. 



54. Urhaniste. — The trees are not of vigorous growth, do 

 not produce young, but, when they have attained the proper size, 

 are great bearers. It is a first rate fruit, ripe in October, and 

 cannot be too extensively cultivated. 



In our next, this hst will be continued, and among the sorts 

 noticed will be a larger number of the more rare varieties. Mr. 

 Manning has enumerated all the above, not that he considers all 

 of them as worth cultivating, but that persons setting out trees 

 can select such as suit their taste; in regard to which, it is well 

 known, there is a great difference of opinion: some prefer a 

 highly perfumed pear, while others have a great dislike to such: 

 some prefer those in which sweetness is most abundant, while 

 others choose those which are more acid. Again, some of the 

 very best kinds are shy bearers, and might be thus rejected,
